For illustration of the clipping method, lets look at an example.
We have a dataset named nyc_airbnb.csv , which
contains data about price of AirBnb per-night rental houses. In
the dataset, there exists some outliers in the
price column. Our task is to find out the outliers
and handle them by winsorizing/clipping.
First , we load our dataset "New York Housing" into a dataframe and view it.
import pandas as pd
nyc=pd.read_csv("../datasets/nyc_airbnb.csv")
